Death simply means separation. If the separation occurs between a part that depends on the other to live, the dependent one is considered dead. Man originally lived in the environment of God and needed God to survive. When he sinned and was removed from the life of God, He died, living his soul to…

The resurrection from the dead is a reality promised to all who put their faith in Jesus. The promise is that those who believe in Jesus will live forever, though they die. There is a tendency we have to relegate the resurrection to a date in the future. However, in John 11:20-27, when Mary answered Jesus that she believed Lazarus would rise from the dead on the…

The land the Lord had given the Israelites, however, was not the most irrigated land, unlike Egypt where they came from. It was a land that depended solely on the Lord for rain and the ability to bear fruits. In preparation for this rain, the Israelites knew too well the importance of preparing their crops. They needed to break up the fallow ground, till the soil before…

Isaiah 57:13-15 (KJV) “[13] … but he that putteth his trust in Me shall possess the land, and shall inherit My holy mountain; [14] And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of My people. [15] For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with…

When thinking of the word Patience, it’s common to assume a state of waiting with little to no action. Romans 2:7 puts an interesting twist to this understanding by using the phrase “patient continuance in well-doing”. The verse is pretty much saying that those who patiently continue in well-doing, seeking for the glory, honour and immortality that come from God alone are…

Joel 2:1-11 speaks of a great and terrible army in the day of the Lord. These men run like mighty men, climb walls, and do not break their rank. This prophetically speaks of the end-time army, the Eklessia that the Lord Himself is raising. An army of ordinary men who have learned to move as one man.

Let your roots grow down into Him and draw up nourishment from Him. See that you go on growing in the Lord, and become strong and vigorous in the truth you were taught. Let your lives overflow with joy and thanksgiving for all He has done. Colossians 2:7 TLB If you have ever had a garden, or if you have grown a tomato plant, for the first time, you may notice how…

Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” (KJV) In this passage, faith is linked to “things hoped for” and “things not seen”. A dictionary definition of hope is that hope is “a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen”.…

Luke 18:8 “… Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall He find faith on the earth?” (KJV) Upon reading this verse, where it says “… when the Son of man cometh …”, you probably thought of the Lord’s second coming at the end of the world. But beyond that, the question in this verse is relevant every day, because Jesus is Emmanuel (which means: God with us).…

A Roman tribune, though a servant of the emperor was always clothed with honor and dignity befitting a tribune of Rome. Their splendor was a reflection of the wealth and glory of the Emperor. Paul said in 1 Corinthians 11:7 that the woman is the glory of the man, speaking prophetically of Christ and His bride. Because His bride bears His name, He washes her and clothes…
